Big Day of giving
Thursday, May 6, 2027
Big Day of Giving is a 24-hour giving challenge hosted by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation that unites neighbors across El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, and Yolo counties to support the nonprofits that keep our community strong. Since 2013, the event has raised over $132 million from more than 70,000 donors — proof that small gifts add up to create real, lasting change.
On May 6, 2027, you can make your donation go even further. Big Day of Giving offers prize incentives, match funds, and a community-wide surge of generosity that amplifies every dollar given.
Compassion Planet walks alongside aged-out and at-risk foster youth in California, providing the resources, community, and stability they need to thrive. Your gift on Big Day of Giving helps us continue that work — and thanks to the matching opportunities available that day, your impact is even greater.
Visit our profile on GivingEdge to donate on May 6, 2027, and help us reach more young people who need a community to call home.
